The Watt From Pedro Show

"I am the mike watt who lives in pedro and works the bass" says Mike Watt's Twitter page (@wattfrompedro), a typically understated intro from one of the heroes of American indie, who's played bass in Minutemen, fIREHOSE, and the reformed Stooges, as well as his own solo stuff. As he spiels through stories and tracks, it's hard not to imagine he'd be the ideal companion on a long road trip. This podcast is the next best thing (especially as it's the best part of three hours long). The latest edition of TWFPS takes in John Coltrane, new solo work from Bob Pollard, the Bugs, Black Moth Super Rainbow and a band called the Redneck Manifesto with a tune called Tomb Of The Dudes.
